PubPol 480 is an advanced undergraduate seminar designed to challenge public policy majors to consider how policy issues are framed and addressed in a non-U.S. context. It includes traditional coursework and a one-week policy study tour in a country beyond the United States. During winter 2025, the course will focus on cross-national challenges in Europe and culminate in a trip to Brussels, Belgium.  

Please join Dr. Jonathan Hanson for an info session about this exciting opportunity!
